Hepatica 2013

[Gerhard Raschun]

Crazy colour is realy just that-  I've seen a similar shade mixed with some white but that clear solid tone is very beautiful. Perfect!
Mind you, with Hepaticas, I have even learned to like the doubles.

My favorites are single flowers with crazy, dark red shades or the bicolors....

Some lovely plants there again John.
Considering all the attention given to the named doubles, its the range of colours amongst your seedlings that really has that 'wow' factor for me.

Anne. Mother plant to number 2 seed plant is Hepatica japonica 'Harukaze'.

It is always very exciting when seedlings begin to bloom, and it is not that hard as long as you have something good to cross with.

We have, for example, some Hepatica nobilis as Severin Schlyter has worked with. and they give really good Hepatica with double flowers and some with special leaves, so even if a Hepatica look quite ordinary may well have some really good genes.

What an amazing sight, wish my greenhouse had colour like that in it.

Until yesterday it was spring in Denmark, but today blows an icy wind from east. There is no snow to protect our plants and the ground is hard as stone.

In the greenhouse bloom my wife's filled Hepatica nobilis as she has made ​​from seeds.
She spends a lot of time to cross right now, if she does not look at the SRGC Forum and The Nordic Hepatica Forum http://www.hepatica.org/phpBB3/

Karl, those double H. nobilis cv's are very beautiful!
